Check out our contest for May here.

I’ve never quite been a big fan of skirts. But I think my mind has just been changed by the Royal Robbins Embossed Discovery Skirt.
The main reason for my newfound crush is simple. The fit. It’s rare, no it’s been never, for me to find a skirt that fits me well in the waist and then hangs in just the right manner (not too tight, not too billowy) and at just the right length (not too short, not too long) that I’m comfortable in it. Yay for Royal Robbins.
But with the Embossed Discovery Skirt, it’s not just about the fit. This skirt has some features that are good for travel.
On the right side, it’s got both a mesh-lined zippered pocket and a lower hanging pocket that snaps shut. The zippered pocket is large enough for a passport or cellphone although I don’t know if that’s where I’d place either. More likely I’d keep some small amount of cash in there. On the left side, there’s another pocket that snaps shut. Again, good for some lightweight items such as a bus or train ticket or even a small notebook.
The embossing throughout the skirt is subtle but still quite feminine as you can see from the photo below.
The material has a bit of Spandex in it so there’s also a nice stretch to the skirt, making it 
easier to get in and out of a plane seat.
A few other deets:
- The material is UPF 50+
- The skirt zps in the back
The Embossed Discovery Skirt comes in three colors – Light Taupe (pictured at top), Light Aqua (at right) and Obsidian.

Disclosure: Royal Robbins provided this skirt to me for review. Regardless, everything I have said in the post reflects my honest opinions.
I’d wear it to Puerto Rico!
I like the flare at the bottom and the waistband. The stretch in the material would make it comfortable as well. The colors are pretty too. Want this!
Wow! I’m off to Botswana this fall, part horse safari and part sightseeing on the SA coast. This skirt looks perfect to wear here this summer and for light weight travel in the fall. Like the longer length and flattering waistline.
I appreciate your review of this skirt, Beth. Like you I’m not much of a skirt-wearer, but this one does look useful as well as cute!
That travel skirt is sooo cute!!
I love practical skirts for summer. I’d wear it running errands, and exploring the beautiful state of Kentucky.
I would definitely wear this in Hawaii! Or in a warm climate, for example on a train – handy pockets to stash tickets, change, etc.
i’m not a skirt-wearer too, but on a recent trip to SE Asia with its sticky hot hot days, a skirt would have been a cooler choice.
I love the Obsidian color – very versatile. I would where it to SE Asia.I looks cool and comfortable.
Africa trip planned for,this fall! This skirt is a wonderful travel length and has attractive waistline. Great to enjoy this summer here and Safari with next fall
I would wear it hiking in Austria this summer as I spun around singing, “The Hills are alive with the sound of music……..” (:)
This skirt gives me the option of not always wearing the Royal Robbin capris. Plus its longer so more age appropriate for me 50plus. The stretch in the material is good for packing & washing while you are traveling. It can go casual or dressy. I think it would be a great choice for my wardrobe yes I would like one. I am going to The Stans & it would come in handy!
I love skirts and would wear this on my winter adventures in Mexico. I love the color choices and longer length, a perfect addition to my travel wardrobe!
I’d wear it on field trips with my kids.
I’ll be happily wearing my new skirt on the WanderTours trip to Bali and Java in September! Terima kasih (that’s thank you in Indonesian).
I will wear it traveling to Finland in June!
I’d wear it most anywhere. For travel, maybe my next hoped for trip — Iceland.
What a practical skirt. I’d wear it this summer on a trip to DC for starters.
I’d pack this in my suitcase or wear it on the airplane as a travel staple in the Lt. Taupe color.
This would be great for my South Africa cruise in November !
This looks great for wearing everywhere!
I’d wear the skirt all summer everywhere! It’s pretty and looks comfortable.
Hi Beth!
I would wear this beautiful skirt in day tripa yo the cape cod and to places like Colombia which im dying to travel to thia year and maybe all i need is a skirt as incentive to get me there 🙂
Thanks for the great tips!
What a pretty skirt! I’d love to add this to my wardrobe. Such a pretty color too. If someone else gets it, they deserve it, too.
These special travel undies look comfortable as well as attractive.
